The Sangamon Valley Landfill on the northeast side of Springfield had 14 years of capacity remaining at the start of the year based on current disposal rates.

More than 387,000 cubic yards of trash were sent to the landfill, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency said in an annual survey of landfill capacity, www.epa.state.il.us/land, released Wednesday. Volume at the Springfield landfill was down a little less than 2 percent from five years ago.

Nearly 45 percent of the 1.9 million cubic yards of waste from 17 central Illinois counties last year went to the Hickory Ridge Landfill in Pike County. The landfill 80 miles west of Springfield received 845,929 cubic yards of waste last year and had an estimated five years of capacity remaining.

Four regional landfills combined had an estimated 20 years of capacity remaining.

Here are the 2013 cubic-yard disposal totals and estimated years remaining by landfill in central Illinois:

* Hickory Ridge, Pike County: 845,929; five years.

* Five Oaks, Taylorville: 468,403; 46 years.

* Sangamon Valley, Springfield: 387,343; 14 years.

* Litchfield-Hillsboro: 192,780; 16 years.

* Region: 1,894,455; 20 years.

Statewide, according to the IEPA, 42 landfills received more than 45 million cubic yards of waste in 2013 and had combined capacity of 23 years remaining at current disposal rates. The EPA says capacity can fluctuate from year to year because some landfill cells are filled and others are opened.

Statistics do not include transfer stations and compost facilities because they donít permanently store waste.
